The OTP option introduced by ITD for resetting the password is not available for all PANs. In certain cases, it works but in case of others, the OTP Option itself is not available in the drop down menu. Please help for a solution

i havent tried the option yet, but the logical reason that i find is that otp option may not be available for those PANs whose contact details have not been verified yet.

All the three available options cannot be exercised since the mob No, Email and the Bank account number were wrong in the previous return. Also the secret question is not known

Yes its true that otp option is not available for all PANs for some strange reason known only to CPC or efiling people. In the absence of security question answer, otp, bank a/c and e-filing acknowledgment number, password reset is not possible.
